I've managed to get a set of the GenCon cards for this game, which predate the Premiere edition and have a back that has "For Demonstration Purposes Only" printed across the bottom section of the back picture. I can scan these and add them -- but they deserve to be their own expansion, rather that tossed in with the Promos. I base this on the card numbers ending in the word "Gcon" rather than "PR" like the standard Promos. The images on the cards all differ from the published versions, at least slightly; and there are a few cards (at least one) that didn't make it into the published set. What's the best way to get these listed properly? There's no way to add a new expansion to a game marked as dead.

Tried using that to upload the first 20 cards (it seems easier to add cards using the "Add Card" feature than to worry about format and how many tabs to use to get to the right descriptor). Unfortunately, the card numbers are too long for the database: they only allow 11 characters, and the actual card numbers look like "XF96-0010 GCon". That's 14 characters long. Can this be fixed? If it's a total pain to do so, which I can understand -- I could cut out the space and the "on" and call them "XF96-00##GC" for the sake of listing them, and put notes with each card giving the full number.

Also -- in terms of Rarity, should these be marked as "Fixed" or "Promo"? They were only available as a promotional set, so they're actually both: the cards in each set were the same ("Fixed") but they were used to promote the game at GenCon ("Promo"). It's more important to get them listed than it is to resolve this issue, but I'd like to know which would be preferred.

I think I'll mark the cards as "XF96-####GC" and put a note saying what the appropriate number actually is with each one. I've got the first 20 ready to add in a text file, and I'm sure I'll need to modify that to get everything into the right column. After that, loading the rest by hand should be fairly easy, and getting pix taken and associated will take another bit of time (this is not the highest priority in my life, but I'd like to get it done!). Thanks for the suggestions, and the feedback!

It needs at least 5 cards to post a set. I'm going through the brute-force method of eliminating all the errors that it finds in each of the first 5 cards; I'll then correct them once they're up, and add the others. Oy. Slow work! But we'll eventually get there, and I do think the set needs to be included. I'll also have a photo of the card backs as an unnumbered card, since it differs from the standard back in having added text.

Cards all entered. When they're approved, I'll go through to clean up typos and make a few other corrections, and start adding pictures. Since the back is different from the standard X-Files back, I'm planning on posting a shot of the back -- it'll have no standard number, but I'll give it an identifier like "GenCon back". And I've noticed at least one serious change in functionality from other sets which I'll add to the comments (and see if I can find more). The Albert Hosteen Agent card lets you pick a Site from an opponent's hand, and get something useful. In the Promo set, it doesn't say you have to tell the other player which site it is!
